Swansea Match Odds Suggest Victory

Swansea City are the shortest price to win this Championship clash according to the bookies, with the favourites given a 50% probability due to their -100 betting odds. For those wanting to oppose the market leader, you can get +285 about Portsmouth.

Swansea can be backed at -102 on the Asian Handicap -0.5 if you think they’ll win. Alternatively, opponents Portsmouth +0.5 are -127 and that means you get a return if they triumph or the draw happens.
